My 1939 AL Replay

[BuffaloHead]

I am doing replays differently and have started a 1939 replay. So what I do is I play the team’s home schedule all at once. A 3 game series at home followed by two four game series at home against all teams for a total of 154 games. This way I do not have to remember scheduling or be bothered to look it up. So far I have finished the Red Sox home half and almost the Senators home half. As the Yankees won the pennant that year, I will play them last to see if they can repeat the performance.

I was using the micro manager for the away teams, which lead me to this format but since have gone to managing them both in solitaire mode. I use the pitcher with the most starts (for the most part) in the first game, followed by the second, etc. etc. I do use injuries.

Is there a way for me to put brackets around this when I post so that it lines up properly? As in, keep the original spacing and formatting?

Thank you to @APBA-GO-Jeremy for help with this!

This is excellent. I will be posting results, stats, etc.

above are the current standings. I have decided on this “format” for the replay so I do not need a formal “schedule”.

The replay is played that I play each of the team’s “home games” in solitaire mode. The away games are filled in by default. Each team plays every other team in a 3 game series at home, then two 4 game series at home. At the end, all 154 games for each team will have been played. Provided my math is correct.

Games are played:
-solitaire style (originally done with the micro manager)
-The series starts with the starter with the most innings or games started (at my discretion). 2 (or 3 other starters for 4 game series) are picked to pitch the rest of the series. Relievers at my discretion.
-I am using APBA injuries (I keep them separately on a sheet and then just remove that player from the line-up).
-Pinch hitters, etc. at my discretion
-I am not trying for a strict or as-played replay. Just a fun type season replay as I may have done as a kid. If the pitchers pitch more, so be it.

BRONX BOMBERS BLOW UP FELLER
Game 1 of a 3 Game Series

Bob Feller stayed on the mound almost until the bitter end just barely staving off grade reduction as the Yankees launched homerun after homerun. It was another tough loss for the Tribe who are off to a slow start.

ROLFE LEAVES TRIBE SEEING RED
Game 2 of a 3 game series

Red Rolfe lead off the game with a homerun and gave the Yankees the lead in the 13th as the Indians early season woes continued.

INDIANS FIND JOE D.
Game 3 of 3

Joe DiMaggio had a pair of dingers to finish the sweep of the struggling Tribe. Teammate Gordon also added a pair of dingers.

CHICAGO FALLS TO FELLER
Game 1 of 3

Bob Feller weaved in and out of trouble and just before running out of gas completed what he started. He had plenty of support. Trosky and Keltner both hit homeruns and the Indians offense quickly ran the White Sox off the reservation.

WHITE SOX BEST CLEVELAND IN EXTRAS
Game 2 of a 3 game series

The Indians had enough to force extras but when Keltner came to the plate with two outs he could not deliver and the Indians woes continued. Despite relatively strong pitching this team’s bats stay as silent as the fans they leave with little to cheer for.

CLEVELAND BATS COME ALIVE
Game 3 of a 3 game series

Trosky went 2-4 with a dinger and Keltner joined him in with another homerun in what the Tribe hope is the spark tha lights their season on fire.

[BuffaloHead]

GROVE OUTDUELS FELLER
Game 1 of a 4 game series

Cleveland scored first but Feller couldn’t keep the bats of Foxx and Williams silent enough to procure a much needed victory. Panic sets in in Cleveland.

[BuffaloHead]

TRIBE TURNS TRIPLE PLAY
game 2 of a 4 game series

The first two Red Sox batters of the game reached base only for Foxx to line into a triple play! After that Al Milinar threw a gem that delivered a shut out. Hal Trosky homered for the Indians.

@dbacknate Thank you. Hope you enjoy!

TRIBE MAKES THINGS HARDER ON SOX
Game 3 of a 4 game series

Mel Harder kept the Boston hardwood from cracking in runs and the Indians responded with a few hits of their own. Much needed win for Cleveland.

TRIBE OUTLAST RED SOX
